The UCF Knights forced a season high five turnovers while giving up none of their own and crushed the Temple Owls in Philadelphia. The Knights’ current streak of ten wins (which began with the season opening dismantling of FIU) is the longest in school history.
The Temple Owls showed some fight early in the game. Temple struck first with an Aaron Boumerhi field goal (he had missed a 29 yard attempt on the Owls opening possession). And early in the second, QB Frank Nutile threw an eight yard touchdown pass to WR Keith Kirkwood and took a 10-7 lead.
